About Northern College

The only residential College designed for adults aged 19+ in the North.

For over 40 years Northern College has been changing the lives of adults across the region. Each year we build a learning community of students, teaching and support staff that works together to make sure students achieve their goals.

Northern College, the only adult residential college in Yorkshire, is in a unique position to be able to offer the skills adults need and employers want. Our campus is open 24/7 so we can offer flexible and accessible modes of delivery - evenings, weekends, blended and residential - to meet the needs of the local, regional and national economy.

We are based in Wentworth Castle close to Barnsley town centre and surrounded by 500 acres of National Trust gardens. The campus is the perfect place for students to immerse themselves in their learning experience. Staying here residentially also gives them the freedom to focus on their course, meet other people and do the best that they can without any distractions.

If you are passionate about enabling adults to achieve the skills they need to reach their potential and you meet the requirements below then we look forward to receiving your application.
